BUSH FOR BOW-HOLES FOR WATCH-PENDANTS.

SPEOIFIGATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 234,654, dated November 23, 1880.

Application filed September 22, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, \VALTER S. BROWER and JULIUs ScHLEsINeER, both of the city and county of Albany, and State of New York, have ,invented a new and useful Improved Article of Manufacture Consisting of a Bush for Bow Holes for Watch-Pendants, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to a new article of manufacture for use in repairs of watch-cases;

and it consists of a metallic bush for filling the worn holes in pendants of watches, which receive and hold the pendant-bows, in which a bush, madeof silver or other suitable metal, and with the form of a truncated cone and pierced centrally with a hole running from the base to the apex of said bush, is adapted to fill the enlarged or worn hole receiving the pendant-bow and holding it in connection with the pendant.

The object of our invention is to produce a gold, silver, nickel, oroide, or other metallic bush which will be adapted to be inserted and secured, by solder, in the worn holes in pendants of watches, and when secured will be provided with a hole for receiving the pendant-bow, which will be centrally located at the opposite sides or poles of the sphericall y-forined pendant, and will obviate the necessity of the repairer practicing any calculation or exercise of skill, which was heretofore required when repairing such worn holes.

This object we attain by our improved article of manufacture, which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of our improved device, enlarged about four times. Figs. 2 and 3 are cross'sectional views of the same. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the bush when secured in place in the worn holes of a watch-pendant.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings,Arepresents a bush, made of gold, silver, or any alloy, as may be selected and adapted for use with the watch to be repaired. This bush is made outwardlyin the form of a truncated cone, with a base-diameter of about one-eighth of an inch,more or less, and with a height or length of about one-eighth of one inch, more or less, as will adapt the bush to operate with the watch to be repaired. The said bush is centrally pierced in direction of its length with hole a, which hole is of a diameter about one-sixteenth of an inch, more or less, as will be adapted to receive the ends of the bow-pendant.

' To adapt the bush for use with pendants which require a slightly outwardly-projectin g shoulder, we form with the conical sides a of the bush a short length of cylindrical form of sides a a as shown in Fig. 3, which short end of the bush, when it is inserted and se cured in place, will form a sli ghtly-projectin g shoulder from the pendant.

Having described our improved device, we will describe its application and use.

When the holes 0 c of the pendant O are worn to such an extent as to render it unsafe for the continuance of the bow in said worn holes, a pair of bushes, A A, are to be inserted in said worn holes, and they are then secured by solder. The outwardly-projecting end portions of the bush are then reduced in length until they will nicely fit between the shoulders of the pintles of the bow B.

If the holes a, are not sufficiently large to receive the pintles of said bow they may be readily enlarged by a suitable reamer or other instrument, so as to nicely fit said pintles.

It will be readily understood, that by reason of the conical form or taper of the bush, the bush will readily enter into and fill the worn sides of the holes of the pendant, and when secured in place the holes a a will be centrally located opposite each other and at the opposite sides or poles of the pendant, and the repairer will not be required to first ascertain the centers of the holes exactly and then drill the same under disadvantageous circumstances, as has heretofore been the practice.

We would here remark that in practice we make our improved bush in three sizes, each slightly differing from the other.

These bushes may be made with a lathe or by press or dies, their manner of production being immaterial so long as they are produced with the peculiar features of construction above described.

2 ea Lesa Having described our invention, what- We with a centrally-pierced hole, a, substantially claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patas shown and set forth, for the purpose specient, is fled.
